Project: Signature Quilt Project Public Submission

The quilt was purchased from an antique dealer in Valley Ford, CA. He bought it from a local family who claimed to know nothing of its history. Given that it is inscribed only with women's names, one could speculate that it was made for a young woman about to be married.
